I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 318 King Nanzhao commits suicide
Being able to rise from a powerful minister to a king, Duquesne is certainly not stupid.

Naturally, it was understood that the Tang Dynasty sent troops not just to save his country, but to expand.

As long as he dies.

Zhenla will perish, and so will Nanzhao.

Hear this.

Zhao Guangxin's brows were indeed knitted together, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent and unwillingness.

But he argued no further.

Directly order the withdrawal of the formation.

"The whole army attacks."

Zhao Guangxin shouted loudly.

Zhenla's 200,000 troops attacked the royal city of Nanzhao.

The bloody battle to siege the city began.

The situation in Nanzhao King's city is not optimistic. It is already at the end of its strength, with morale, food and grass almost gone.

Moreover, the disparity in military strength is several times greater.

It's just two days.

The royal city was captured.

"Zhao Guangxin."

"I will let you Zhenla and your whole family be buried with you."

"Datang will avenge me."

Looking at the attacking Zhenla army, Ducaina sneered, but he was not afraid, nor did he accept to be a prisoner. Instead, he directly drew his sword and killed himself.

Very decisive.

Looking at the dead Du Kaina, Zhao Guangxin's expression changed drastically.

"He was so decisive."

"Kill yourself."

Zhao Guangxin looked at Du Kaina's body with a very ugly expression.

"Master."

"Dukaina is dead, and Nanzhao is also dead. Shouldn't this be a good thing?"

"Why does the Grand Master seem unhappy?"

The generals around him looked at Zhao Guangxin in confusion.

"Good thing?"

"hehe."

Zhao Guangxin sneered: "If the Tang Dynasty had not sent troops, it would be a good thing that Du Kaina died, but the Tang Dynasty has already sent troops, and it was Nanzhao who begged to send troops."

"For the Tang Dynasty, it is important to have a master who is famous in everything. Nanzhao Kingdom's request is to let their master be famous."

The generals around him were still puzzled: "Nanzhao is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and so is Zhenla. Now that Nanzhao has perished, the Tang Dynasty cannot bring Du Kaina back to life no matter what. As long as we pay some tribute, I believe Datang will retreat. '

Hear this.

However, Zhao Guangxin's face did not show any happiness at all, but said very solemnly: "Datang, you underestimate the Tang Dynasty. They are indeed a suzerain country, but they are also an ambitious suzerain country. I, Zhenla, have already attacked Nanzhao. The country has been in power for more than a month, and the princess of Nanzhao has already asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty did not send troops early, but waited until I, Zhenla, attacked the Nanzhao royal city before sending troops? "

"In the final analysis, it's all because the Tang Dynasty wanted an opportunity to become famous and annex our Zhenla and Nanzhao kingdoms, killing two birds with one stone."

"Dukaina is dead. This is the outcome that is most in line with Datang's wishes."

"They can have no worries anymore."

"Duquesne committed suicide. He naturally understood this."

When the general next to him heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he understood, "Grand Master, don't we have to face the full attack of the Tang Dynasty?"

"As long as Lun'er can guard the border and stop the Tang army, we may have a chance to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty and give up some benefits. But if there is a loss at the border, it will be too late." Zhao Guangxin said solemnly.

"No wonder the grand master asked the eldest son to command an army of 80,000 to guard the border. It turned out that the Tang Dynasty was being guarded against."

"The master is wise."

"With 80,000 troops stationed there, we can definitely hold the border for several months without losing anything." The general immediately complimented.

But the words just fell.

"Report!"

"Reporting to the Grand Master, the eldest son has sent back an urgent report."

"The border pass was lost, and the army lost more than 50,000 people. Now the eldest son has led the remaining army to retreat to Hucheng, and asked the Grand Master to quickly send troops to return reinforcements. The Tang army has hundreds of thousands of troops." "There are also border troops on the southern border of the Tang Dynasty. There is an army under the banner of Liangzhou.”

A Zhenla emergency reporting soldier came to Zhao Guangxin and knelt down to report.

"The border has been breached now? How long has it been?"

Zhao Guangxin's expression suddenly changed.

"Master, what should we do now?" All Zhenla generals were anxious.

"Trash, why did I give birth to such a trash son?" Zhao Guangxin's face became very ugly.

Originally, he thought that such a thorough arrangement would be able to stop the Tang army, but he never expected the current situation.

Now he has no way out.

"Leave 20,000 people to guard the Nanzhao King's Town."

"Other armies will return to the capital with my grand master. The goal of the Tang army must be the capital. They also need to prepare generous gifts, prepare tributes, and send envoys to sue for peace with the Tang army." Zhao Guangxin said with a heavy face.

Now.

He didn't have any choice anymore.

……

Chenla, a hub city, had just experienced war.

The banner of the Tang Dynasty has been planted on this city.

Everywhere in the city, soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were cleaning up the battlefield and dragging away the corpses.

"General Lee."

"Our army has won another great victory in this battle."

"The remaining 30,000 Chenla troops who escaped at the border that day were all eliminated in this battle."

Hou Junji came to Li Zheng and said with a smile.

"Our army has not suffered much losses, right?" Li Zheng asked.

"The combat effectiveness of Zhenla's army is much weaker than that of our Tang Dynasty. Moreover, when they broke through the border at the first stop, General Li broke through directly, causing our army's losses to be reduced several times."

"In this multi-day battle, our army's total casualties are only 10,000, with 4,000 killed and 6,000 injured."

"And the Zhenla Army paid a price of 80,000 yuan."

"Moreover, the last general also brought a gift to the general." Hou Junji said with a smile.

A clap.

"Bring it up."

echoed.

Several soldiers directly escorted a man dressed as a Zhenla soldier to Li Zheng.

"Spare your life, General, spare your life."

As soon as the man arrived, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in panic.

"This man is Zhao Guangxin's son, named Zhao Lun."

"He was the one who commanded the troops at the border that day. Today he tried to pretend to be a soldier and escape, but was discovered by our army."

"A person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Hou Junji said sarcastically.

"After the establishment of the Zhenla Zhao Dynasty in history, it is no wonder that the second king was not Zhao Lun, but his younger brother Zhao Qian. This ability is indeed of no use." Li Zheng glanced at it and thought to himself.

in history.

After the Zhenla Kingdom destroyed Nanzhao, Zhao Guangxin, the powerful minister of the Zhenla Kingdom, deposed the little king of Zhenla and directly sat on the throne of the king, creating the Zhao Dynasty. However, the national destiny of this Zhao Dynasty was short-lived. When it was destroyed, it was ruled by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. We sent 400,000 troops and destroyed them.

Later, the Xuanwei Division was established in Zhenla and Nanzhao, and the Zhao Dynasty was destroyed.

"Keep it for now."

"Maybe it can be used to disgust Zhao Guangxin later," Li Zheng said.

"Ah."

Hou Junji nodded and waved his hand.

Several soldiers took Zhao Lun down directly.

"Prince Jiangxia must have achieved results now, right?" Li Zheng looked at Hou Junji and asked.

"After receiving the battle report from Prince Jiangxia a few days ago, they have already mobilized troops and captured several cities within a few days. The results must be even greater now." Hou Junji said with a smile.
